The Reds lead the majors in mascots every year.

I guess a family of baseball heads fits in with the sport so that's okay, but Gapper (named for the gap in the grandstands where he lives) is the most pointless mascot in sports. I guess the team wanted something more huggable for the kids?

Please add Lil Red to that list. No reason he's needed. At all. Herbie Husker is more than sufficient and still child friendly.

In the CFL, the Saskatchewan Roughriders mascot, Gainer the Gopher, has only a small connection to the team name. The same can be said of the Edmonton Eskimos' Punter (but not his brother, Nanook, which is an Eskimo name), the Calgary Stampeders (Ralph the Dog), and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers mascots don't quite have any connection to their team name.

New York Yankees (snoopy, not sure if still in use)

Wait, what? Snoopy is only there when they have MetLife sponsoring a giveaway or one of their player of the month awards. The only mascot that they've had was Dandy. But they killed him because mascots are awesome and that team hates fun.

Indiana State University Sycamores: Their Primary mascot is "Sycamore Sam"...which is an animal of combined origins (features of his appearance are made up of local prevalent wildlife).

Mr. Red has, at various times in my life, given me the creeps. For example, the 1973 version was quite frightening to a young child...

...and the Friday the 13th Jason version from the mid 00s was also creepy...

Thanks for giving me a weak excuse to post this video

EDIT: Speaking of Mascots that don't match, WTF is that thing in the background wearing a Hurricanes Jersey?

That's Stormy, the Ice Hog, who is the team's mascot. Fits this thread as well.

That may be the coolest mascot I've ever seen
